The new update is good to go, and it’s all themed around “Serenity”, the film opening September 30th based on the cult phenomenon TV show called “Firefly”. We at the Nice Guy have been backing Firefly, and Serenity, since we first started up, and are happy as all the other Browncoats that all our waiting has finally paid off. We got our Big Damn Movie!

So, in celebration and tribute, we’ve got all Serenity stuff for you this time around.

First, we’ve got the new strip in the COMICS! section, a Serenity-themed one called “#1 Hef in the ‘Verse”. While you’ll still be able to enjoy it if you’re NOT familiar with the material, it’s really done for folks that know both Firefly and the Nice Guy (especially Frank). So check it out at:

And last, in the RANT SHACK, I’ve written up a Big Damn Essay called “All I Want is Serenity”, one that talks all about the show, its path to moviedom, my history with it, and the fans. Lots of pretty pictures to go with the words, so you can take a look at what we’re talking about, plus links to the official site and to the film’s trailer, which you can watch right on your very own monitor. Dare you not to want to check out the film after watching it…

As I’ll be in San Diego on the next Nice Guy deadline on October 1st (seeing this here movie we’re talking about with my old pals), expect it to be a couple of days late, but I’ll have it ready ASAP for you. In the meantime, enjoy Serenity Week, learn all about the film that everyone’s talking about, and don’t forget to grab yourself a ticket and check it out on 9/30! Join the revolution!

By the way, Mike, I read all the rest of the strips, and I have to say I'm in love. Definitely the best webcomic I have ever read, and in fact, I just put $3.50 in an envelope to mail out to you guys to get that "Pilot" issue.

Kinda hoping that thing about accepting cash wasn't just a joke.

And, hey, I even included a personalized note. I made a note in the letter that it was from me, UnpluggedCrazy, so hopefully you won't freak out and think it's a threat of some kind.
